Four geeps (one out of sight) rescue a three unit articulated stack car from the town of Tehachapi
Friday morning at Marcel
A splash of orange east of Marcel
Above Keene, a set of interesting power (spot the GP60M and two B40-8Ws) head east
The same train outside tunnel 10
UP passes a mix of power at Cable
The Oakway, MRLx2, BN set approaches Marcel
More BN units near Woodford
Where they wait, and eventually enter the main.
UP gets moving again at Woodford (16mm shot)
Caliente in the fog
Sandcut crossovers at dusk
East Marcel again
And again with a coil train
Interesting downhill at Walong - third unit an SD40
The same power at Woodford.
An uphill autorack train passes the previous train's rear end power at Woodford
Another blue and yellow survivor sandwiched between the ubiquitous orange Dash 9s
Our downhill train is finally moving again, seen here at Clear Creek between tunnels 5 and 4
...followed, as one would hope, by its rear end power
And again nearing Calients
And finally going away at Caliente - have we had enough of this one yet?
Bad luck then.
At Monolith, an SD40-2 heads a newer and larger NS Dash 9 towards Tehachapi
Next morning, a dirty warbonnet, ex UP, and two pumpkins poke through the clouds at Woodford
Gasp! Clean UP locos at Tunnel 10
Oooo. A blue SD45-2
Same train. Shame that lead SD is so grubby
Crappy pic, but interesting mix of locos. SD40-2, GP60M and GP60
Loaded and empty cement hoppers on the way to Monolith.
The train drops the two 'helpers' and empties at Monolith
The same train at the bottom of Walong
Pumpkins approach the loop
Ex MP loco
Ex ATSFSD40
